This was so wide reaching that even kids on the 2nd grade playground were talking about it this morning. I walked past 3 separate conversations about it.
Trying to think of the last shocking-too-early big name athlete death. Arthur Ashe we all saw coming. Has to be Clemente?

Munson, I'd think. The most recent that's even close is Jose Fernandez, but he wasn't at Kobe's stature. Even Munson wasn't, I don't believe, national in scope like Clemente was. Perhaps I'm wrong about that though.
